Any good news stories about Saniflo or other macerating toilets?

[LoftyLou]

I would appreciate hearing about any experiences of “macerating toilets”.

We are in the middle of a loft conversion, and have just been told that it will be very difficult to fit a standard soil pipe to the en suite, and the best option is a macerating toilet.

I have read some awful stories about these, interspersed with a few good reviews, but I haven’t seen many reviews dated in the past couple of years.

I am hoping maybe there has been a breakthrough... Are the most modern, top-of-the range models perhaps quieter or more reliable / less smelly than older models?

I would really welcome hearing about good (as well as bad) recent experiences. Thanks.

If Peachypearlplum is still around would you be able to recommend the London based Saniflo maintenance company? We are in Surrey.

We are getting a saniflo loo for a small tricky space but the plumber is hesitant to do it so I want to find an expert and them keep them for servicing..not having much luck online!

The previous residents of my house had one but one of them liked to eat damsons and swallow the stones which was enough to keep breaking it, so they found a way to rearrange the bathroom and reroute the soil pipe and had it taken out! Very happy not to have inherited it.

Oh sorry, just seen this was an old thread!
